Of course! Courts use the same standards to make judgments: people's actions.Yet you are using that to judge.
See Matthew 7:1

Who are your close friends? Pimps? What about drug dealers?
If not, then you are judging.
Jesus has standards, too: "You are my friends if you do what I tell you."
If people habitually disregard Jesus' commands, then they are not his friends, despite their protestations to the contrary. -- Matthew 7:23
What should be the punishment for adultery?
Edit: the poll is about a person who is in a committed Marriage relationship with an opposite sex, who has a sexual relation with another person outside of the Marriage. Should there be a punishment for this case?
Do you think the denizens of Sodom and Gamorrah would agree with you?I applaud your liberalism, for it is against the fundamental law of Baha’u’llah that unmarried fornicators should go unpunished by society. Congratulations on joining the ranks of free thinkers
Adultery is awful and disgusting, better to think of how to prevent it than punishing it.
what would you feel if you know that your wife was sleeping with a guy and they spent
a wonderful hours together in the bed, will you think of a punishment or you may think
of leaving her forever.
Punishment is to show how awful is the act itself, but I believe the best solution is divorce.

Really?Here is a rhetorical question. Is adultery any better or worse than rape?

Um, you know that one of the reasons the divorce rate is so low in places like Chicago (and therefore Illinois) is because of the large number of people didn’t get married in the first place, right? Are you seriously suggesting divorce is somehow worse than rampant unwed families?Huh right back at ya
